I have been reading all along and as a trader and a close relation to some investors, I have to say that this entire fiasco has been a heartbreaking disappointment. While I knew Lou was frequently as full of himself as he was full of shit, I never imagined the pathology to extend as far into narcissism and sociopathy as it now obviously does. The lies go beyond comprhension and as I think of these, I can also see him in my mind, look me in the eye and ask me, "What do YOU want?". It was on the tip of my tongue to say, "I want this to be real and true". So as not to offend, I told him that my job was exactly what I wanted. Next to my genuine hope and appreciating the giving to very needy institutions that he did, I ignored the red flags that flashed so brightly in my face. I wanted what I wanted and it wasn't purses or cars or fur coats from HIM; I wanted something to be truly good that generated even more good and made people happy. I wanted the freedom and the prosperity to take a bigger part in my home and family while continuing to live the lifestyle I previously had but with tons less stress. I wanted my cake and to eat it, too. It's called GREED, regardless of intention, and all of us are guilty. We bit into the apple the serpent was offering because we are human beings. So I chose to keep my head in my ass, be true to myself, and hope for the best. There you have it. I know that everything happens for a reason. Now I am hoping the reason for all of this will be a good one and will come to light soon. The last thing Lou told me was to "never go back in the box". I hope trading will allow me that liberty and then some....as he and his loyal followers sit inside of their very tiny boxes in the near future.
He screwed my family and that is the very least I hope for him, LITTERALLY, during his next stint in the Big House. Like I told him recently as this all came to light, "Karma is a very certain and beautiful thing...". Thanks for the opportunity to vent. Thank you to those of you who did the research and have kept us informed on very difficult-to-get information. I'd also like to thank Bobby for kicking off this whole forum and wish him and everyone else involved the best possible outcome.
